Control arms generally do not need to be replaced unless there is impact deformation, cracks, or other special circumstances that necessitate replacement. Below is relevant information: 1. The specific function of control arms: The control arm in a car serves as the guide and support for the suspension. Its deformation affects wheel alignment, reducing driving stability. If there is an issue with the front control arm, symptoms may include steering wheel wobbling, the vehicle pulling to one side when the steering wheel is released, and difficulty maintaining direction at high speeds. If these symptoms are not obvious, replacement may not be necessary, and a four-wheel alignment may suffice to stabilize the steering. 2. Connection between the chassis and wheels: In a bicycle, the frame and wheels are rigidly connected, making for a very bumpy and uncomfortable ride on uneven roads. In cars, control arms are designed with flexible connections and include shock absorption mechanisms, significantly improving comfort on rough roads and enhancing the vehicle's handling stability.

What are the reasons for abnormal tire pressure display?

There are three reasons for abnormal tire pressure display: abnormal tire pressure; the tire pressure monitoring system has not been reset; the tire pressure sensor is damaged. Abnormal tire pressure: Generally, an alarm will be triggered if the pressure is below 1.8bar or above 3.0bar. In this case, tire inspection and pressure adjustment are required. Tire pressure monitoring not reset: After inflating the tires, if the tire pressure is not reset in time, the tire pressure monitoring system will still record the previous data, causing the tire pressure monitoring indicator light to illuminate. In this case, simply reset the tire pressure. Tire pressure sensor damaged: The tire pressure sensor is used to monitor tire pressure and is directly installed inside the tire, connected to the tire inflation port. If the tire pressure sensor is damaged during driving due to impact, it will also cause the tire pressure warning light to turn on. For sensor damage issues, only a complete replacement with a new part is possible.
